The local Restore has knocked 50% off their prices before they move on the 19th. Picked up a barely used Intex inflatable 4 person rowboat for $35.

I tell you Cheesy, not only the oil problem, I bought a 428 DID chain and had it fitted with the service... it had almost no slack, adjusted that on Sunday...
I think going forward ima gonna do the servicing myself. I don`t wanna knock people here, off course not, but I wasnt to chuffed after the service...

Set of socks and underwear through Amazon. Our Walmart has everything locked up now. It's simply not worth the time and frustration trying to find a store clerk.

Roger that. We have a few Wal-Marts around we can go to. One we avoid. One reason being they have a lot of products locked into display cases that the others don't. (Yet.) Another reason being obviously the same reason that particular needs to lock up many of their products. Bonus downer is that it's like the largest store around and often has some things in stock the others might not.

Here in rural Missouri, the Walmart does not lock up anything except some obvious high-dollar electronics that are small enough to stick under a garment.

Bought a pair of grips for the quad and a new 3/4 helmet for $37.00 on eBay. Time to retire my 20 year old $29 Walmart helmet.

Plug-in Bluetooth receiver for my E-Drums, so I can use my Iphone to play music. With Mrs. 2LZ still working from home since Covid, everything has to go through my headphones.

Heated grips for the ATV. Seventeen bucks from AliExpress.

Spark plugs, air filter and new starter gear and will pick up oil today to service my riding mower.

Got it yesterday but i picked up a Yaber K1 Projector to try a projector out for once. Still sorting out where i am placing it for its final location but so far a good start.

I finally got around to taking the rowboat out of the box and inflating it. Big sucker. Roughly 11' x 5' x 1.5'.



I'm taking the boys fishing tomorrow morning.

I bought a Huayi carburetor to go on my snowblower that I just bought used. It's a Troy-bilt snowblower with a Chinese made Honda engine. I was going to rebuild it, but ordered a new one for $15. The carb on it was basically ruined by the guy trying to rebuild it.

This was yesterday but some extra RAM for my main PC and a monitor stand for the monitor i use on my macbook in the main area of my apartment

I have a 90cc 5+ hp saw with a 24" bar. It can take a 36 inch bar with a skip chain, no problem. The thing is a monster! And I recently got a 25cc Jonsereds limber clone for little stuff. But I sold my over-rated Husqvarna rancher. The antivibration rubber grommets are too flexible and it bounced while I used it. Not stiff enough, I guess. And it was underpowered for a midsized saw.

I replaced it with a Husqvarna 372 clone (72cc Holzfforma). It came in last week and I put an Oregon 20" bar on it, and a Powercut Oregon chain. The saw can handle a 24" bar, but I have the big saw for larger logs.

It is a G372XP Pro. I got it assembled and gave it a try. More power than I thought, and it isn't even broken in. I also need to lean out the high end and adjust the idle down, but really I just wanted to give it an initial heat/cool cycle and deal with a few logs I recently picked up. It is sitting on top of those logs in the pic. The bar flexed in and the chain loosened a bit on those first logs. I expected that.

I have lots of splitting to do! Oh, and I have about a half ton of seasoned white oak that I need to cut for the offset smoker. That will be this saw's next job. I will do some tuning while I work on those, maybe when the beastly hot weather passes!

Ok, I'll go. Just ordered a kemimoto tail bag from Amazon. My Fonz jacket came in and I can't be wearing a backpack with that cool jacket on, so the tail bag became a necessity. Also, I needed somewhere for my socket set and some other tools.

As for bags, please don't hold it against the company that it was founded in San Francisco and is very...err...prideful. The Citizen messenger bag is the absolute best bag I've ever owned. Military grade nylon canvas with a thick, waterproof membrane and thick thread for stitching. You can put a 12 pack in it, with ice, and the melted ice won't spill or seep through until you dump it out. The main buckle kinda says it all: KICKASS
